Here's a post, from February, about what we can say about FBI obtaining Papadopoulos' call records OR using 702. If anything they waited far too long. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/02/09/george-papadopoulos-call-records-were-not-subpoenaed-until-after-his-interviews/ …

Would it be acceptable if it came to light that the Sanders campaign had an FBI "informant" secretly implanted, even if intel wasn't formally collected? Was it acceptable when Halper did it to Jimmy Carter? I'm no fan of Trump, but this is where we are.
-
Were either Sanders or Reagan the law enforcement agency mandated with counterintelligence in this country?
-
Grammar aside, I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

You're making an inapt comparison. FBI was investigating suspected RU spying in the name of the USA. Your comparison involves political parties investigating each other. Have you noticed the same people pushing this are okay with James O'Keefe, which parallels your example?
-
"Your comparison involves political parties investigating each other" That's essentially what happened. Again, how is it any different from what Halper was assigned to do to Jimmy Carter? I'm not "pushing" anything, but pointing out double standards.
-
DOJ's IG has already provided evidence that FBI (McCabe specifically) hurt Hillary. If FBI was working for a political party, it' was Trump's. They weren't. That part is sheer conspiracy from morons.
-
I'm not claiming who they may have been attempting to help, or why, just that it happened disproportionately. I hate Trump, and it's especially infuriating when he gains legitimacy amongst his base from ill-advised actions like this.
-
Except the evidence says PRECISELY the opposite. Any disproportionate harm from FBI actions worked against Hillary, not Trump.

Every time you use the word "frothy" I involuntarily think of
@fakedansavage's redefinition of "santorum".Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
